DUPLICATE-DETECTOR

Functions:

$ python -m duplicate-detector [compare|sort]

Compare :

$ python -m duplicate-detector compare INPUT_DIR TARGET

Scan both directories (INPUT-DIR and TARGET). Compares the files solely on FILE NAME. Every file found in both directories are moved from their originals paths in INPUT-DIR into INPUT-DIR/DUPLICATES.

Files in the TARGET directory are never moved.

sort:

$ python -m duplicate-detector sort INPUT_DIR OUTPUT_DIR

Sort a directory INPUT-DIR of pictures and videos ('JPG', 'JPEG', 'PNG', 'MP4', 'MOV') into an OUTPUT-DIR. Files in OUTPUT-DIR are sorted into folders by year and month, based on their metadata, as following : OUTPUT-DIR/YEAR/MONTH/pictures.

If multiple file have the same file name, the heaviest get sorted into OUTPUT-DIR/YEAR/MONTH and the others into OUTPUT-DIR/DUPLICATES.

If no metadata is found for a file, it is not moved. If a file is not in the supported extensions, it is not moved.
